Introduction: My local store manager said they'd be holding Battle Companies in two or three weeks time (whichever isn't Easter), so I thought I'd prepare some of my own battle companies for battle, to give me something to choose from. I'll be posting conversions and the finished models here. This post will be used for keeping the links in, and help organise the thread. The links: Dwarf Warrior with Two-handed Axe and bedrolls 5 Dwarf Warriors, 3 with Two-handed Axes, and 2 with Dwarf Bows Dwarves (Vault Wardens, Khazad Guard, and Warriors) Ashrák Review Ashrák Painted 600 Points of Dwarves Murin, Drar, Khazad Guard and Dwarf Warriors Morannon Orcs and Captain Ride of the Rohirrim - Part One Ride of the Rohirrim - Part Two Ride of the Rohirrim - Part Three (Eowyn and Elfhelm Conversions) Easterlings Durin and Dwarf Command Ride of the Rohirrim - Part Four (Commanders) Ride of the Rohirrim - Part Five (Eowyn finished) The Host of Erebor (1,400 points of Dwarves) Battles in the Deeps Part One: Cave Troll and Goblins Ride of the Rohirrim Part Six - Elfhelm finished Battles in the Deeps Part Two: Goblins and Prowlers Battles in the Deeps Part Three: Durburz and more Goblins Battles in the Deeps Part Four: Dwarf Mine Working Elrond & High Elves Battles in the Deeps Part Five: Iron Guard Gildor Battles in the Deeps Part Six: Underground Lake Orc Banner Bearer Shagrat Battles in the Deeps Part Seven: Dwarf Warriors with Sculpted Cloaks Dragon WIP Part One Dragon WIP Part Two Dragon WIP Part Three Battles in the Deeps Part Eight: Dragon Gil-galad Mordor Troll Chieftain Mordor Orcs More-dor Orcs Battles in the Deeps Part Nine: More Goblins Battles in the Deeps Part Ten: 650 Points of Goblins Orc Banner Bearer 2 Troll Trio and Mordor Warband Dwarf Travellers - Murin, Drar & Hornblower Radagast the Brown Férin and Fári - Dwarf Travellers Wood Elves Groblog, Prowlers and Goblin Archers Spider Queen & Swarms Wild Warg Pack The Goblin Army EFGT: Goblins and Tiny Captain Osgiliath Veteran Conversions Faramir, Captain of Gondor Osgiliath Veterans EFGT: Goblins and Grinnah Warriors of Minas Tirith Part 1 EFGT: The Goblin King Prince Imrahil and Knights of Dol Amroth A couple of tips for using the texture paints: - Use them before you paint the model, as they can be quite messy (as my Morannon Orcs now know). - Drybrush them with a lighter colour, makes it look so much better, or wash them with a darker colour.

Thanks, I'm not sure yet, I think it'll be a campaign, but I wasn't really told what's happening other than they'll be doing Battle Companies Valamir wrote: Nice conversion job.

Thanks GtW, I'm working on some backpacks and bedrolls at the moment, and painting the elites when waiting for Green Stuff to cure

Aye, a quarter of your dwarves are metal? No Dwarf Hornblower? Funny that Gimli is one of the painted and Murin and Drar are not. No Kings Champions any time soon?

Yep, a quarter are metal Dwarves (and then a third of them are heroes). No Hornblower yet, I need to pick up the command box, as I want another captain, a shieldbearer, a Hornblower and another banner. I'm not sure if I'll get King's Champion, I want to get Iron Guard first. How is it funny that Gimli is painted but Murin and Drár aren't?

Funny because Gimli is canon and popular, but the two two are unloved in general IMO. You shoulf get Iron Guard for SBG, the Champion is nice if you want to think on it.

Next time I see Iron Guard in a shop, I'll be buying them, a Great Beast, or a Dragon. The King's Champion I'm still not sure on. I like Murin and Drar, just Gimli is cheaper points-wise (I play smaller games), but I may be painting them this month. They could work quite well in a warband of 5 shields, 5 bows and a banner/hornblower... I've also added a poll for everyone to choose what I paint next

Post subject:	Re: CGOM: Ashrak Review
As I'll be painting Ashrak the Spiderkin next, I thought I'd do a review for all those interested: http://chrisgomhobbyblog.blogspot.co.uk ... shrak.html

Post subject:	Re: CGOM: Ashrak Review
\|Well personally, I hate the model and everything it supposedly represents, but it could be good at getting female players to buy it as some of them think he looks cute. Nice review all the same, and goood luck with the painting.
